communication activities, and explores the relationship between these connection
strategies and social capital. Survey data ( N = 450) from a random sample of
undergraduate students reveal that only social information-seeking behaviors

Reconsidering Political and Popular Understandings of the Digital Divide
Tập 6 Số 3 - Trang 341-362 - 2004
This article presents a theoretical examination of the digital divide, tracing
its origins in the centre–Left social inclusion policy agenda of the 1980s and
1990s to its current status of political ‘hot topic’. It then moves on to
outline four conceptual limitations to conventional dichotomous notions of the
digital divide and individuals’ ‘access’ to information and communications
technology (IC...
Gradations in digital inclusion: children, young people and the digital divide
Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 671-696 - 2007
Little academic and policy attention has addressed the `digital divide' among
children and young people. This article analyses findings from a national survey
of UK 9—19-year-olds that reveal inequalities by age, gender and socioeconomic
status in relation to their quality of access to and use of the internet. Since
both the extent of use and the reasons for low- and non-use of the internet vary

Seeing without knowing: Limitations of the transparency ideal and its application to algorithmic accountability
Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 973-989 - 2018
Models for understanding and holding systems accountable have long rested upon
ideals and logics of transparency. Being able to see a system is sometimes
equated with being able to know how it works and govern it—a pattern that recurs
in recent work about transparency and computational systems. But can “black
boxes’ ever be opened, and if so, would that ever be sufficient? In this
article, we crit...

open-to-all Facebook, the professionally oriented LinkedIn and the exclusive,

particular types of interaction.Through this comparative examination, four
themes emerged, hig...

Tập 20 Số 5 - Trang 1813-1831 - 2018
The main aim of this study was to examine the norms of expressing emotions on
social media. Specifically, the perceived appropriateness (i.e. injunctive
norms) of expressing six discrete emotions (i.e. sadness, anger, disappointment,
worry, joy, and pride) was investigated across four different social media
platforms. Drawing on data collected in March 2016 among 1201 young Dutch users

Mobile phone parenting: Reconfiguring relationships between Filipina migrant mothers and their left-behind children
Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 457-470 - 2011
The Philippines is an intensely migrant society with an annual migration of one
million people, leading to over a tenth of the population working abroad. Many
of these emigrants are mothers who often have children left behind. Family
separation is now recognized as one of the social costs of migration affecting
the global south. Relationships within such transnational families depend on
long-dista...
#BoPo on Instagram: An experimental investigation of the effects of viewing body positive content on young women’s mood and body image
Tập 21 Số 7 - Trang 1546-1564 - 2019
Body-positive content on social media aims to challenge mainstream beauty ideals
and encourage acceptance and appreciation of all body types. The present study
aimed to investigate the effect of viewing body-positive Instagram posts on
young women’s mood and body image. Participants were 195 young women
(18–30 years old) who were randomly allocated to view either body-positive,
thin-ideal, or appe...
Facebook: A literature review
Tập 15 Số 6 - Trang 982-1002 - 2013
This article provides a critical review of scientific, peer reviewed, articles
on Facebook between 2006 and 2012. The review shows that while there are yet
numerous articles on various aspects of the social network site, there are still
many gaps to be filled. Also, due to the limited scope of many articles (in
sample sizes as well as in the number of countries included in the studies) and
frequen...
Mobile phone distraction while studying
Tập 17 Số 10 - Trang 1661-1679 - 2015
The mobile phone is a breakthrough advance for human communication. But with the
plethora of choices available via smartphone, individuals who are deficient in
self-regulation or with a propensity for addiction may face challenges in
managing these choices strategically. To examine this potential dysfunctional
aspect, we examined the effect of multitasking when studying or doing homework
and found...
